This seams illegal and in fair to just wait the 7 days and not respond and just send cancel request . Do I have any recourse to make this contract still stand?

Your responsibilities as trustee are very important and handling your aunt’s estate in these circumstances can lead to other issues. You really should sit down with a lawyer to review the trust documents and make sure you do it correctly.

When a rental property is sold and there is a written lease for a term already in place on that property, the new owner takes the property subject to the lease. So your lease would still be in place, provided it is in writing.
If I was single when I purchased the home, do I list single for the seller and then put married for the grantee section so it matches the original deed?

A quitclaim deed only transfers your rights to a property. It will not transfer your obligations, including obligations under a mortgage.
The money from the inheritance was deposited in an account in my name only. Do I have to give my husband half the money from the sale of the house?

There is no way to answer this question without more information. If you are a month-to-month tenant, you are entitled to one month's notice. If you are not paying rent, there is a shorter notice required.

wife buying a house and title company forgot to put it in joint with husband in MISSOURI. Is there any consequences tax wise or any other way if it isn't in joint? I was told he would have 50% vested interest in it anyway in Missouri.

If you are identified as husband and wife in the deed, Missouri treats it as a tenancy by the entirety, not joint tenancy. If husband is not on the deed at all, you should probably talk to an attorney about adding him.
